Ok so you survived tax season, but it was rushed and chaotic.

You never felt like you could get ahead, you were just reacting to one thing after another.

The constant back and forth emails with your CPA. The dashing around trying to collect documents they asked for when you’re not even really sure what they mean.

Realizing how much wasn’t really organized all year. Again.

If you feel behind after every tax season and you’re ready to never feel like that again, I’ve got you.

Let’s chat about how monthly or quarter bookkeeping might be a good fit for your small business.

S-Corp status is kinda like the financial equivalent of committing to make your bed every morning. A bit annoying to start, but satisfying once you’ve got the system down. 🛏️

If you’re thinking about making the change this year, it’s helpful to know what work it adds to your plate (or your team’s).

Why do we all think that tax strategy is some super spy hacker strategy you need to learn from a jedi master on top of some mountain?

I mean, that would be fun. But luckily it’s way simpler than that.

For small business owners, it can be just about having accurate numbers.

You’re not moving money to offshore accounts and playing creative tricks with corporate tax breaks… You’re just making sure that your income is accounted for and that you can write off your business expenses.

So if you double record your income (as I see all the time), now you’ve doubled your taxes.

Or if you miss expense transactions, now you’ve lowered your write off amount.

I would say most small businesses could save some money just by catching errors in their bookkeeping that are super common.

This is where having me on your side saves you a lot of headaches (and maybe some money).

I’m not as exciting as a Jedi spy master but I like to think I can bring something new to your business bookkeeping.

If you’re looking for bookkeeping support that includes:
🟢 Accurate reports and monthly email check-ins
🟢 Customized reporting and automation
🟢 Open communication and friendly support

👉 I think you should send me a message.

It’s scary how often I see business owners who didn’t know their tax returns were never filed…

As tax season winds down (and you all have your taxes neatly filed away way before the deadline 😉) it’s an important reminder that just handing everything to a professional to file your taxes isn’t enough.

Because after all, you hold all the liability to make sure your tax return is prepared accurately and completely. And it’s easy enough for tax returns to accidentally (or maliciously) get lost before they are filed.

Just because you send your info to someone, does not mean they actually officially filed it (unfortunately).

So make sure your tax professional is providing you with these three things (it’s required!):

1️⃣ Their name and PTIN (and signature) at the bottom of your tax return

If they are preparing tax returns for payment, their information and valid PTIN # must be at the bottom of your return. If you don’t see anything in the paid preparer section, time to speak up and ask. 🚩

2️⃣ A copy of your completed tax return

If I had $1 for every time a new client came to me with none of their old tax returns….

Guys, this super duper important! You need to have a copy of every single year’s tax return when it’s filed.

What if your tax professional goes out of business? Disappears suddenly? Just stash it away at the end of every year, just in case.

3️⃣ Notification that your return was accepted

Because truthfully, until you receive this, you have no confirmation that your tax return was actually filed (it could be sitting in a queue on someone’s desk somewhere)

I promise if you make sure these three things are provided by your tax professional every single year, you’ll save time, money, and frustration the longer you are in business.

Did any of these surprise you?

Three ways to confirm they actually filed your taxes...

I hate that this has to be said but this happens way too much. Here’s how to double check.

I’m willing to bet you didn’t know you these three things are REQUIRED.

But if you have a professional file your taxes, these are non negotiables 👇

You deserve answers.

Too many business owners feel like they’re left in the dark when it comes to their finances. They get ignored by their accountant, vague responses, or worse, being told, “Don’t worry about it, you wouldn’t understand.”

But here’s the truth: It’s your business, and you deserve to understand what’s happening with your money.

You should be able to ask questions and actually get answers - clear, straightforward, and judgment-free.

So if your accountant isn’t giving you the time, clarity, or support you need, it’s time for a change.

I’m here to help. Let’s chat - DM me or book a call at the link in my bio.

I received all these 1099s - but what do I do with them?

If you’re business is an LLC or sole-proprietor, you probably received 1099NECs (from clients) or 1099Ks (from your payment processor).

But what do you do with them now besides hand them to your tax preparer?

Well, before you shove those 1099s in a drawer or hand them off sight-unseen, you should always verify two things:

1️⃣ Make sure the amounts listed on your 1099s are accurate.
🗂️ Of course, you want to make sure that your 1099s say you have received the correct amount of money. 1099s not matching tax filings is an easy way for the IRS to flag you for an audit later. Asking for a revised 1099 as soon as you notice the difference helps save headaches and edits later on.

2️⃣Double check that your total income for the year is equal to or higher than the total of these 1099s.
🗂️ There are other ways your business may have received money outside of 1099s, so it would make sense if your income was higher than or equal to the total amounts on all 1099NECs and 1099Ks. But if you report less income on your tax return, the IRS immediately sees this and assumes you are hiding some of your income to avoid taxes. Now of course, discrepancies are usually due to errors and not fraud, but this quick double check can help you avoid audits and fines later on.

This is one of the easiest ways to avoid an audit!

Don’t give the IRS an excuse to dig into your finances, save yourself headaches down the road and take just a few minutes when you receive those 1099NEC and 1099Ks this year and double check them against your own records.

Do you verify your 1099s each year during tax season?

Every time you think about taxes, your stomach drops.

Months of transactions left unorganized. Invoices and expenses that just don’t add up.

Your shame says, “ You should have dealt with this sooner.”

But I say it’s still 100% fixable. Yes, even in March.

A clean-up wipes the slate clean and gives you a stress-free, shame-free financial reset, usually in under two weeks.

We will:
✨ Sort & reconcile every transaction
✨ Add personal expenses that should’ve been counted as business
✨ Clean up & reorganize your chart of accounts
✨ Prepare fresh, up-to-date reports
✨ Walk you through everything in a 60-minute call so you feel confident moving forward

No judgment. No overwhelm. Just a fresh, organized start that puts you back in control.

I specialize in fresh starts ⭐

Let’s chat about how a bookkeeping clean-up can help your business this tax season.

We’ve all been there. You send an email to your accountant or bookkeeper… and then nothing.

You’ll hear from us within business days, not business months 😂

And when we do respond, we keep it clear. No jargon, no condescension, no “you wouldn’t get it.” Just straightforward answers you can actually use to run your business with confidence.

Because your time matters, and your questions deserve real answers.
